U.S. President Donald Trump tweeted a video following his visit to San Diego, California, saying that without a wall, “we’re not going to have a country.”

If we don’t have a wall system, we’re not going to have a country. Congress must fund the BORDER WALL & prohibit grants to sanctuary jurisdictions that threaten the security of our country & the people of our country. We must enforce our laws & protect our people! #BuildTheWallpic.twitter.com/NGqNueukvj
